GAME.

Application filed April 24, 1923. Serial No. 634,309.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, THOMAS D. COLLINS, a citizen of the United States,residing at Los Angeles, in the county of Los Angeles and State ofCalifornia, have invented a new and useful Game, of which the followingis a specification.-

This invention relates to a game and more especially to a novel form ofgame'- board, one of its objects being to provide a board utilizing apair of closely associated pins fixedly mounted, it being designed toemploy a ring to be-thrown at the pins for the purpose of ringing them,the points it counted in determining the result of the game, beingdetermined by the position of the thrown ring relative to the pins.

\Vith the foregoing and other objects in view which will appear as thedescription proceeds, the invention consists of certain novel, detailsof construction and combinations of parts which will be hereinafter morefully described and pointed out in the claims, it being understood thatchanges may be made in the construction and arrangement of the partswithout departing from the spirit of the invention as claimed.

In the accompanying drawings the preferred form of the invention hasbeen 89 shown. 4 v

In said drawings.

Figure 1 is. a plan view of the game board, one position of a ringthereon being indicated by full lines.

85 Figure 2 is a section on line 2-2 Figure 1, a cover being shown onthe board.

Referring to the figures by characters of reference 1 designated acircular box which can be provided with a lid 2 and secured in and theyare spaced apart a distance slightthe bottom of the box is a board 3which to may be provided with a soft covering 4 of felt or the like;Secured to the board 3 near the center thereof are upstanding parallelpins 5. Two of these pins are used ly greater than the thickness of thering 6 constituting the game piece.

In playing the game the ring is tossed at the pins. If both pins arerung a certain IIIIIITUGI of points are placed to the credit of theplayer. If the ring encloses or surrounds one pin only another number ofpoints is placed to the credit of the player. Should the rings stand upagainst both pins the play would have a predetermined value and anothervalue would result should the ring lean againstone pin only.

What is claimed is:

1. A game including a box-like structure, a pair of parallel pinsupstanding therefrom adjacent its center and a ring constituting a gamepiece, said pins being spaced apart a distance slightly greater than thethickness of the ring.

2. A game including abox-like structure, a board therein, a pair of pinsupstanding from the board adjacent its center,a game piece for ringingone or both of the pins,

said pins being spaced apart a distance slightly greater than thethickness of the game piece.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own, I have hereto afiixedmy signature in the presence of two-witnesses.

THOMAS D. COLLINS.
